What do the walls of the cranial cavity consist of ?
Consist of inner and outer tables of compact bone that are separated by spongy bone called diploë
What are the cranial meninges?
Three membranes that surround the brain and are continuous with the meninges of the spinal cord.
_____ mater is fused to the periosteum, therefore it is considered to have two
parts
Dura mater meninge is fused to the periosteum, therefore it is considered to have two

____ mater is a delicate membrane that lines the inner surface of the dura.
Arachnoid mater is a delicate membrane that lines the inner surface of the meningeal dura.
What is the arachnoid trabeculae?
Fine extensions that span across the subdural space and attach to the pia mater.
What is the pia mater?
Vascular delicate membrane that attaches to the brain.
True or False
The subdural space of the brain and spinal cord are the same
True
The separation of ___ from ___ creates channels that are lined with an ___ and receive veins that drains the ___ and the ___
The separation of meningeal dura from periosteal dura creates channels that are lined with an endothelium and receive veins that drain the brain and the meninges.
The channels created by the separation of the meningeal dura from periosteal dura are in effect venous channels responsible for draining the
____
The channels created by the separation of the meningeal dura from periosteal dura are in effect venous channels responsible for draining the
